Investment firm Bitwise has reaffirmed its forecast for Bitcoin to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, driven by macroeconomic factors and market sentiment.
Bitcoin Forecast
Bitwise has doubled down on its bold prediction for Bitcoin, expecting its price to hit $200,000 by the end of 2025. This confidence stems from growing concerns about the weakening U.S. dollar. As the dollar’s value declines due to rising trade tensions and economic policy shifts, Bitcoin is seen as a resilient asset and an alternative store of value.
Revised Targets for Ethereum and Solana
While the firm remains bullish on Bitcoin, it has lowered its outlook for Ethereum and Solana. The target for Ethereum has been adjusted down from $7,000 to around $4,500, and for Solana from $750 to about $250. Bitwise attributes these changes to a mix of macroeconomic headwinds and reduced investor enthusiasm. Slower growth in retail participation and concerns about Ethereum’s momentum, particularly in areas like Layer-2 scalability and institutional adoption, have played a significant role in the downgrade.
What This Means for Investors
The revised predictions signal a more cautious short-term stance on altcoins while remaining firmly bullish on Bitcoin. Bitwise also notes that the crypto bull cycle could stretch into early 2026, offering potential for price recoveries beyond 2025. Investors are advised to monitor macro trends, institutional behavior, and blockchain development activity to gauge the future direction of the market.
Bitwise's forecasts emphasize the importance of monitoring market trends and investor strategies in times of uncertainty.
